Cats are not usually addicted to
water sports but the following is we'll
vouched for. The late James Davis,
of this town was an enthusiastic trout
fisher, and took great pains to stock
the brook running through his farm
with trout, building dams and digging
ponds for them. But the lawless fish
ermen from other towns so rayaged
his ponds that he at last dug a small
pool in his garden, supplying it with
water from the overflow of the trough
at the barn. He also had very in
telligent cat who used to go with him
on his fishing excursions, being treated

closeted several hours with Murat Hal :
stead, who had evidently gone there
from Cincinnati to meet him, as the
room he occupied had been previously
engaged by the Blaines. Nobody
knows what passed between them and
it is nobody's business, but people will
talk, and those who think that Mr..
Blaine desires the next nomination
imagine that he would like the aid of
the leading editor in John Sherman's

Blaine are again pointing to the utter
insignificance, the miserable narrow
ness, the wretched littleness and the
altogether contemplate paltriness of
the incOnsequential little plurality
which Cleveland received in New
York in 1884. The margin was thin
one, for fact, but considering what it
accomplished it might be expected that
the fellows who did not get it would
look upon it with considerable awe.
1t did the business most effectively.

Perhaps your readers may not re-

came near being the first, during the
war of 1877, to put foot on Turkish

A desire is expressed for the publ
cation of the full police court reports
of st. Adams in the Daily Messenger,
and we are thinking strongly of so do
ing. In this event no partiality will be
shown or names spared. Drunkenness,
with the opening spring, is said to be
on the increase.-[St. Adams Messen-
ger.
The Messengers resolution is a good
one. Rumsellers and rum drinkers
seem to consider themselves a prefer
red class when they get caught in the
business. 1t is a very common occur
ence in n newspaper office to receive
requests from unfortunate victims that
"nO names be mentioned" in a par
ticularly disgraceful affair as the men
in question "desire to REFORM" ETC.,
etc. Unfortunately such requests need
to be frequently repeated and we have
arrived at the conclusion that suppress
sion of names in items of this charac-
ter only serves to shield criminals and
that there is no good end to be served
by taking such a course. If men will
persist in selling and drinking rum
they must be prepared to accept the
public disgrace that properly attaches
to the business.

Judge Poland's recent letter in the
Omaha Republican concerning his
watch with Secretary Stanton when
President Johnson tried to replace the
secretary with Gen. Thomas, leads the
Montpelier Argus to suggest that a
volume of "reminiscences by the Judge
would be very interesting reading, and
would have large sale and also to
ask "Why does he not occupy his
spare time in writing book If he
told tenth part of what he knows
of inside history, it would have an i'm
mense sale" This is an excellent sug-
gestion and we cordially second it. If
the Judge would honestly tell all he
knows about the public men he has
met we imagine the fur would fly in
some unexpected quarters.
